Rating suspension for the Stewart Investors Global Emerging Markets Leaders fund

Following the recent announcement that Ashish Swarup has resigned from Stewart Investors and departed the firm with immediate effect, we have decided to suspend the fund's Responsible AA rating.

The fund will now be managed by Tom Prew, who has been co-manager on the fund since October 2016 and with the business since 2006, and Chris Grey. We plan to meet with the new managers shortly in order to understand their long term aspirations for the fund and will post further updates accordingly.
